Thanks SOAP and co. you guys rock! I was thrilled to see 108 on Einstien also. Congrats
That's actually exactly what a team meeting discussion this year was on. We had our drive team get involved in our scouting system and it was pretty much said that "You dont need to know the gear ratios of the chain sprockets from point a to point b on the robot. You need to know what its going to do when that buzzer goes off and then what its going to do when that timer hits 120". Beyond that, vital info is "Is it fast? Is it stoppable? Is it worth stopping? etc." The concensus on SOAP was no one would ever want to see "Not worth stopping" on the SOAP report, but to become an accurate system, its nessacary.

Also, thanks! This year has been an amazing rollercoaster and I still can't believe we made it to Einstein.
